SEC power rankings after Week 12: Auburn tumbles

The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide are on a collision course to play in the SEC championship. Before an SEC champion is crowned, teams played in Week 12 action and have rivalry week.

The entire SEC West played against non-Power Five opponents in Week 12. However, not every SEC West team won. The Auburn Tigers suffered an embarrassing home loss to New Mexico State.

Georgia cruised on the road at Tennessee. Florida blew a chance to upset Missouri. South Carolina earned a SEC East win over Kentucky.
